      Server Description

      A memory-optimized virtual machine featuring dedicated AMD EPYC processors and a high memory-to-vCPU ratio for enterprise databases and caching.

      Memory OptimizedStorage & Database

      Microsoft Azure E16as_v5 is an EASv5-series virtual machine powered by an AMD EPYC 7763 processor running at 3.525 GHz. It features 16 dedicated vCPUs, 8 physical cores, and 128 GB of RAM, providing a high 1:8 memory-to-vCPU ratio. This instance does not include local storage but is Premium Storage capable, and it lacks complimentary public IPv4 addresses. Performance benchmarks indicate strong single-core CPU capabilities, while multi-core operations, memory read bandwidth, and database operations perform at average levels. Conversely, large-block uncached write memory bandwidth is a notable bottleneck, scoring in the bottom 25%. Given its high memory density and dedicated CPU resources, this server is well-suited for memory-intensive workloads, relational databases, caching layers, and enterprise applications that rely on external storage solutions.

      Workload Profiles

      0.72Score
      Precomputed compound score for Cache Intensive workloads. A weighted average (geometric mean) of benchmark scores compared to their medians: score = ∏ (x_i / m_i)^(w_i / Σw). The score of 1.0 represents a synthetic baseline server with the median performance of each component benchmark; 0.5 means roughly half the performance; and 2.0 means twice the performance of that reference profile. Component weights: 50% Redis RPS (pipeline=1, SET), 20% Redis RPS (pipeline=16, SET), 10% PassMark Memory Mark (composite), 10% Memory bandwidth (read, 16 MB ~ L3), 10% PassMark single-thread CPU. Rationale for component selection: In-memory key-value store workload, mixing direct Redis performance metrics with memory speed and latency benchmarks, and single-core CPU performance profiles.
